Chest pains

[madamesilverspurs]

had me in the cardiac unit a couple of weeks ago. It's a terrifying experience. As I read some of the comments about Limbaugh's predicament I can't help but wonder if anyone had similar thoughts about me, nobody's perfect. Admittedly, he has invited argument and invective. But it's the lovely folks on the far right who have asked God to visit death and destruction on those with whom they disagree -- we're the ones who are otherwise inclined. Aren't we?

Just sayin'.

1. Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn...

I will leave it in the hands of the RWingnut god...

[JVS]

2. No. Fuck him.

[NYC_SKP]

3. Correct. K/R. n/t

[liberal_at_heart]

4. Unfortunately many progressive ideals have gone by the way side including compassion and tolerance

I hope Rush Limbaugh makes a full recovery and wish his spirit well. Om Mani Padme Hum.

[notesdev]

33. My compassion and tolerance is on a sliding scale

the more bullshit, the less compassion and tolerance

[JanMichael]

5. I hope people have the exact same compassion for him that he has

shown for others.

[Blue_In_AK]

6. Good response.

[Individualist]

7. +1

[liberal_at_heart]

17. compassion is not earned

[JanMichael]

23. wanna bet?

the man has been such a horrible person, that it's extremely hard for many people to feel anything--

We catch and carry spiders out of this house-- are vegetarians-- and try not to think ugly thoughts about people; but I actually find it very, very hard to give a damn what happens to this man.

He's made his own bed, and is on his own bizarre path in life, and afterwards. I personally hope he comes out a better person and talks about it; if he doesn't, then I hope he isn't reincarnated as a poor Somalian homosexual female.

[jobycom]

20. We're liberals. We are supposed to show more compassion than him.

Otherwise what the hell do we exist for?

[JanMichael]

26. Quit mistaking personal dogma for political ideology

You don't *exist* to be a liberal.

[jobycom]

34. Liberals "exist" because of something that defines them as a group.

If there is no difference between liberals and conservatives, then liberals don't exist.

[liberal_at_heart]

31. Okay now I know there is no difference between republicans and democrats

If people can actually wish harm on another human being then they are no different than the people they are wishing harm on.

[Binka]

38. Grow Up

Really, you sound like a tormented 13 year old.

[anigbrowl]

49. Yeah. Don't interrupt the two-minute hate, it just ain't cool.

[blondeatlast]

24. There's nothing wrong with wishing one karma, nothing at all. nt

[bluestateguy]

8. He wished for our president, our leader, our Commander in Chief, to fail

which is the functional equivalent of wishing for Americans to die and suffer hardship.

That's all I have to say,

[tigereye]

9. he does have kids, so I would hate them to risk losing their father but...

May he recover so that he can be indicted. (that's one way to look at it, anyway.) :D

[GreenPartyVoter]

44. Maybe he'll have an epiphany and suddenly become a liberal!

:D

[dmr]

47. No, I don't think Rush has any children. I don't think he's under indictment either. Or

are you thinking of Karl Rove?

They do look like they could be brothers or cousins.

:shrug:

[tigereye]

51. oh, that's funny, I thought it was Rove, who does have kids I think!

whoops! :rofl:

[blogslut]

48. He's been married three times

...and is engaged for a fourth. But he has no children.

[tigereye]

50. ok, I thought he did - never mind

I guess I don't have to feel too bad, then... :D

[grasswire]

10. Michael J. Fox

That's all I have to say.

[Dinger]

13. First Thing That Came To My Mind (nt)

[blondeatlast]

25. Karma was a Back to the Future fan, as am I. nt

[Hassin Bin Sober]

40. Or Jerry Garcia - "another dead doper"

[Hardrada]

11. I sometimes get heartburns

AND sometimes sideburns.

[spanone]

12. mr limbaugh has created his own reality. i wish him no harm. his hell is himself.

he can't escape him.

[niceypoo]

28. I imagine the nurses being grossed out...

..when he asks them to pop the boils on his inner thighs

Ok, I admit it, I hope he croaks. I was hoping he would die in one of Obamas 'librul socialist concentration camps' but I cant have everything I wish for...

[JoeyT]

45. +1

Yeah, that was my personal pony too.
Damnit, what's the hold up on the FEMA death camps?!

[truedelphi]

14. Hope you are feeling totally better.

And wil continue to be well.

Limbaugh is not the danger - the danger is all the people who will love believing him.

If I tell five million people to jump off a bridge, and they do, does that make me an awful person? Or does it mean that maybe those five million people lack some grey matter?

[City Lights]

15. What happens to Rush is not my concern.

He's quite fortunate to have the best health care money can buy.

[Chemisse]

16. Sorry, no compassion

He has done irreparable harm to our country by inflaming right-wingers with his viscous words and virulent attitude. People have likely died due to the response to his condemnations.

So if he is suffering now, it is only Karma biting him in the ass.

On edit, I want to add that I doubt you have evoked that level of hatred and disgust among those who may not like you. It takes a truly despicable person to shut down humanity's natural empathy and compassion for those among us who are in pain.

[Hannah Bell]

18. Count me as one who hopes Limberger gets a taste of the pain he's visited on others.

He lived a life of luxury while spewing propaganda & visiting ill on others, & i'm supposed to wish him a painless death?

fuck him. he's an evil toad.

[samplegirl]

19. Probably caused from sex with a

underage hula dancer!

[JohnnyLib2]

21. I agree.

and don't mind being called a bleedin' heart liberal at all.

[jobycom]

22. We are supposed to be otherwise inclined, yes. It's how you tell the liberals from the rest. nt

[liberal_at_heart]

27. Something I miss about the people of the civil rights movement

No matter how they were treated they always kept their dignity and were also the nicest, kindest, most compassionate people you could meet. They weren't angry, mean, spiteful. They never lost themselves along the way.

[Hannah Bell]

29. that's nice.

[JanMichael]

32. Oh, I know. Like those little sweet Black Panthers...and Weather

Underground kids with their little bombs...

Yes, those Civil Rights Activists were just the nicest little pumpkins ever!

[liberal_at_heart]

35. They are not the ones who won freedom for the African Americans

It was Martin Luther King Jr. and the non-violent, peaceful, civil rights movement that won their freedom.

[JVS]

37. The good cop and bad cop traditionally work together.

[tuvor]

30. Who here "asked God to visit death and destruction" on Limbaugh?

Seems to me folks here are just commenting on what God has already visited on him.

[J-Lo Biafra]

36. I am glad you made it through, and you are a stronger person for it.

As for Limbaugh, I couldn't care less. The man has made a career spreading hate and noise and acting as the mouthpiece for one of the worst political machines this country has ever seen. I have little/no pity for him.

[liberal_at_heart]

39. Om Mani Padme Hum

Praying for the increase and abundance of love, peace, and compassion is the only way I know how to even begin to respond to the ugliness I see on this board. I pray for everyone's heart to be touched by love. I realize I will only be attacked and bashed for this but I do it anyway.

[madamesilverspurs]

42. Thank you. nt

[Missy Vixen]

46. Thank you

When we act like they do, we show ourselves as no better than they are.

Sometimes it's better to say nothing at all.

:hug:

[EastTennesseeDem]

41. Seven Unitarian Universalists in Knoxville

Bill Gwatney
George Tiller
Stephen Tyrone Johns

These people are dead because of the radical right-wing hate mongering propagated by the likes of Rush Limbaugh (along with Coulter and Bachmann, etc.).

You do not deserve such pain, and I do genuinely respect and admire your stance, along with jobycom's and liberal_at_heart's stances. I wish I could feel that way. But I can't muster up any sympathy for people who perpetuate malicious, dangerous ideologies.

[GreenPartyVoter]

43. Yes! It's happened to me twice. Very scary.
